Autism Support at Together OT — Across ACT
Together OT in Across ACT lists services that overlap with paediatric occupational therapy for autism.
Services Together OT offers for autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder often experience differences in how they process sensory information and develop fine motor skills. Together OT supports these areas through targeted occupational therapy tailored to each child's needs. Our sensory processing work helps children manage responses to sounds, textures, movement and light—for example, using sensory swings or weighted equipment to help regulate their nervous system, or practising tolerance activities with different textures during play-based sessions. Fine motor support at Together OT addresses skills like pencil grip, scissor use and hand coordination through engaging activities such as threading, drawing, and manipulative play. These services can be funded through NDIS support plans (2025-26 funding year) if your child has an approved plan. Together OT works collaboratively with families and other professionals to identify which areas would benefit most from intervention. It's important to note that occupational therapists cannot diagnose autism spectrum disorder—this requires assessment by a medical professional—but we can support the functional skills and sensory needs your child experiences.

About autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental difference that shapes how children process information, communicate, and respond to their sensory environment. In Australia, autism is identified across a wide range of ages, and many families first speak with a GP or paediatrician about referrals for assessment after noticing differences in play, communication, sensory responses, or daily routines.

Common questions
Can occupational therapy help my autistic child with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. Occupational therapists can help children develop strategies to manage sensory sensitivities and support self-regulation. Together OT uses activities tailored to your child's specific sensory profile—such as movement-based activities or graded exposure to different textures—to help them feel more comfortable in everyday situations. However, an OT cannot diagnose sensory processing disorder; this requires specialist assessment.
How is occupational therapy funded through the NDIS?
If your child has an approved NDIS plan, occupational therapy services can be funded as part of your support plan (2025-26 funding year). Together OT can discuss your funding options and work with you to understand what services your plan covers. You'll need to check your plan details or contact the NDIS directly for specific information about your child's allocation.
What should I expect in my first session at Together OT?
Your first session typically involves getting to know your child, understanding their strengths and areas of need, and discussing your goals as a family. Together OT will observe how your child engages with activities and may ask questions about their daily routines, sensory preferences and fine motor skills. This helps us develop a personalised approach to support your child.
